It might be that the NULL check doesn't make sense in the first place, 
but since I'm not an expert for this code I can't fully judge.

On the other hand the patches clearly look like nice cleanups to me, so 
feel free to add an Acked-by: Christian König <christian.koenig at amd.com> 
to the series.

Thanks,
Christian.
